Perhaps in go other way, however, has it been more manifest than in the attempts made, many of them suc cessful, of our Canadian boys to get away ftom the clutches of the Huns after they had been taken prisoner. The remarkable story of the prison life and ultimate escape, after several attempts, of two Canadian boys is told in this stirring and instructive volume. The authors both enlisted in the {4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, and were wounded and captured in the , battle of Sanctuary Wood "qn June 2nd, 1916, ne of them, Corporal McMullen, a sniper, tells how he was seriously wounded, and lay all day in the open, while a German charge passed over him, and the explosions of the British and German shells threw mud in his eyes. The Ger- "mans dug in near him, and he was taken prisoner. He was removed to a German hospital, and ultimately to the prison camps He spent some months in Germany, doing work on farms, and, being gifted with keen powérs of observation, he gives a graphic story of the manner in which Germany ruthlessly organized for war, and forced every man, woman and child into war service. Private Jack Evans; a homber, was also wounded apd captured in the same battle, aid tells of' his experi ences in several different camps. He worked for a time in the Auguste: Victoria epal mines, known among the prisoners as "The Black Hole of 'Germany,' He tells of his four at- 4 tempts to escape, and of thé umépeak- able treatment he received on being captured after his three unsuccessful attempts. : 5 "Out of the Jaws of Hunland" is a striking picture of prison camp life, told in a straightforward manner by men who are, perhaps, better soldiers than authors But every word has the ring of truth and sincerity, and the book is a striking document of condemnation of the Hun's brutality. The writers try to make light of their owl great bravery, courage and re- sourcefilness, but ove can read be- tween the Hnes. The book empha- sizes German infamy if their re- lentléss cruelty to prisoners in a way which one cannot read plsewhere. i Canadians should pride. our brave By pages. publishers, .
